September 3rd, 2014: Pay It Forward. What? You didn't think I'd just say: today's #haskell problem is hard and leave it at that, did you? http://lpaste.net/110444 Paid. Or: a constructivist approach reduces the generated sets from 200M+ down to 8 possible solutions http://lpaste.net/110684 That's doable. ... and here is the 'Mr. Clean' version of the solution: fast, and neat. Groovy! http://lpaste.net/110685

September 19th, 2014: Continued fractions and dual inversionals are today's #haskell problem http://lpaste.net/111067 It even comes with (thoughts about) flowers. #Ult Today's problem was inspired by a comment, then the main article, from @aperiodicalhttp://aperiodical.com/2013/11/from-the-mailbag-dual-inversal-numbers/#comment-611141 That was some LOOOOOOOONG Division! http://lpaste.net/111314 A solution to today's #haskell problem.

September 24th, 2014: Jones, Smith, and Brown work at the Bank... but not Mr. Banks.A logic puzzle from 1957 for today's #haskell puzzle http://lpaste.net/111461. A pair of PhDs (http://lpaste.net/111580) helped to solve today's #haskell problem. Neatly, too, I might add.

A-to-the-ST for da D-down-low-on-the-SL. Today's #haskell exercise is write your own language, then some rules. Yeah. http://lpaste.net/108733. LAWLZ! NAND on the A-to-the-ST! http://lpaste.net/108758 A solution to the first 2 exercises to today's problem. YMMV: not pretty nor generic.

Baby needs a new pair of shoes! And you need a new daily #haskell problem to solve. http://lpaste.net/108820 Done! ;) Love is the Universal Language. No, wait. We were talking about Money, yes? Me confused. Solution to today's exercise http://lpaste.net/108829. I have a Yen for Thinking Japanese, or so I think so ... a solution to the bonus #haskell exercise http://lpaste.net/108871

Bayes was a man of letters. A Bayesian classifier for letter-recognition? Sure, let's give it a go for today's #haskell exercise. http://lpaste.net/108901 So now we know 'M' looks like 'W' to some peeps but 'B', 'I', 'O' check out fine, so WE ARE READING WITH HASKELL! YAY http://lpaste.net/108916 ... added definitions to do test runs over the entire data set and then did various runs, tweaking the system. Results noted. Informative.

Hail, Eris! or the Law of Fives or today's #haskell problem (implementing a Ripple-down rule set). Do it to it! http://lpaste.net/109350. One of three-parter solution to today's problem: Forall Existential(ism) http://lpaste.net/109458 A solution allowing forall-quantified values. Two of the three-part solution: All you need is fnord (la-di-da-di-dah)! Rippling down (and accumulating fired) rules http://lpaste.net/109433. Third of three-part solution: RippleDownRuleto ergo sum, adding rules to the RDR system http://lpaste.net/109473. Updated the 3rd solution to the RDR (Writer monad definition) to ripple down to left and right, fixing inconsistency in rule findings.

August 19th, 2014: What does it all mean? All the way! No, wait: this is just today's #haskell exercise (backtesting SMA indicator ). http://lpaste.net/109617 Take the monoid and run(State-WriterT), or WAAH! WAAH! I lost 100 corn chips on my investment strategy or, solution: http://lpaste.net/109687 But, as solace, it does come with a pretty picture, illustrating today's solution. Ooh!

August 20th, 2014: Next up for today's #haskell exercise is the Exponential Moving Average. http://lpaste.net/109689 A solution to the E(xponential)M(oving)A(verage) #haskell problem: Stately Conformance http://lpaste.net/109707

August 26th, 2014: "Join me, Luke, on the Dark Side of the Force, and help me go #FORTH to solve today's #haskell exercise! MWA-HAHA!" http://lpaste.net/110062 The World's smallest DSL: Forth. A solution to today's #haskell exercise http://lpaste.net/edit/110085

The Forth language problem solution given on August 26th gives a very snazzy RPN ('reverse Polish notation') calculator, but that's all it does the ':'-defining word needs access and look-ahead to the program parsed stream, and that's a bit more to ask than pushing and popping stack operators.

For the August 29th problem(WordNet themes) the raw generated solution set is over 209M possibilities. My little Haskell program was not finished scanning them over four hours when I killed the process. However, my dear wife solved the problem in under five minutes. Setting aside the fact that she's a genius, the program needs to be better. It needs to use the ontology of English-language words to eliminate fruitless endeavors during their generation, not afterwards during the test phase.
